Enteral Nutritional Design
T Chatzimichail
Abstract
Enteral feeding refers to the delivery of nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract, thereby providing part or all of a patient’s energy and nutrient requirements. To design an enteral nutrition formula, the program calculates the quantities of up to six selected food items: one meat or fish item, one cereal, one dairy food, one vegetable, one fruit, and one oil. The combination is required to comply with user-defined specifications: total required energy, fraction of energy from protein, fraction of energy from carbohydrate, and maximum total water content. The specifications are set using sliders, and the foods are selected using their respective menus. Each menu includes a “None” option.
